Please note, I currently do not have a wizard weaving Life, this is the best image of Ron I could find. If you have images of Bacon, Ron, or Herswione, PLEASE get them to me. I will be EVER so thankful.

This particular side-quest is only accessible if your Wizard is weaved into Life School.

It appears to the Trees of the Blended Grove that magic weaving is having some unintended consequences. Serge is convinced that Intersections of Iconic history are calling down different energies from the ether. Morrison is convinced this unplanned by-product of magic weaving must be stopped before it destroys us all. Viv and Old Sage calmly suggest that instead of panicking, research is required. They send you to Wysteria to talk to some of the students as the old growth trees native to Wysteria aren’t very chatty through the ley lines of the Spiral.

Ron Greasely is the second Pigswick Academy student you encounter who is willing to speak with you. He doesn’t know what Life Magic is. He can tell you about Chaos Magic though.

Life? I don’t know what that is. I can tell you about Chaos Magic. It’s like regular magic, but unreliable.Ron Greasely

Ron Weasley

Ronald Bilius “Ron” Weasley is a fictional character in the Harry Potter series of novels by J. K. Rowling. He is introduced in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone as a first-year student on his way to the wizarding school Hogwarts. During the school year, Ron befriends Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. Being the only member of the trio who was raised in wizarding society, he provides insight into wizarding customs and traditions. Along with Harry and Hermione, he is a member of Gryffindor House at Hogwarts and is present for most of the action throughout the series. Ron is portrayed by Rupert Grint in all eight Harry Potter films, and Alastair Stout in the upcoming television series.

Ron is introduced in the first novel in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997). He and his family encounter Harry Potter at King’s Cross station and help him find the Hogwarts Express. Once aboard the train, Ron and Harry meet Hermione Granger, whom they initially dislike. At Hogwarts, all three students are assigned to Gryffindor House. After Ron and Harry save Hermione from a troll, they develop a friendship with her. When the trio seeks the Sorcerer’s Stone, Ron uses his skill at Wizard’s Chess to allow Harry and Hermione to proceed safely through a dangerous, life-sized chess game. At the last dinner of the school year, the Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore rewards Ron’s chess skill by giving him fifty House points, which helps Gryffindor win the House Cup.”
